The study of human gait has expanded and diversified to the extent that it is now possible to
identify a substantive literature concerning a variety of gait tasks, such as gait initiation …

This paper investigated application of a machine learning approach (Support vector
machine, SVM) for the automatic recognition of gait changes due to ageing using three types …

The link between gait parameters and hearing loss is not well understood. The objective of
this study was to investigate the effects of the gait ground reaction forces, their time to peak …

Fifteen young and 15 older healthy adults walked and crossed obstacles with heights of
10%, 20% and 30% of their leg lengths while their kinematic data were measured with a …

Though transversely inclined (cross-sloped) surfaces are prevalent, our understanding of
the biomechanical adaptations required for cross-slope locomotion is limited. The purpose …

Introduction The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of motor control training
on pain, disability and motor control indices in patients with nonspecific low back pain …

Tripping over obstacles has been reported as one of the most frequent causes of falls in the
elderly. Maintenance of the body's balance and precise swing foot control is essential for …

Background. Falls in older individuals are a major public health issue because of the
financial cost of surgery and rehabilitation and the human cost of associated pain and …

Objectives: To understand the residual locomotor effects of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) on
unobstructed and obstructed walking. Participants: Eight young, high-functioning adults with …

Poor mobility has been associated with age-related deterioration in muscle strength. While
previous work has examined the effects of improved strength on level walking, we have …
